Notas do Editor
- We need better networks, but don’t expect help from the feds. Private companies aren’t investing.
- Some context.This is NOT pie in the sky.Take comfort from history – we ran a wire to every last person in the country during Great Depression and World War II.DOES ANYONE KNOW where the largest FTTH network in the world is? The Dakotas. Over 10K sq miWe can connect everyone. The question is how.
- Reasonable rates
- And yet hundreds have made investments to serve others aside from themselves150 offering citywide triple play, another 200 making some partial investmentSome just connect a business district or offer dark fiber
- 2012 report from the State Educational Technology Directors Association recommends 1 Gbps connections between school district facilities by 2014-15 and 10 Gbps by 2017-18Leasing these connections from some providers could bankrupt local budgets
- Conduit
- For the most part, local governments expect networks to pay for themselves entirely. Most networks funded with revenue bonds purchased by private investors
- We should stick with what works. Embracing public and private sector investmentWe’ll have private companies, coops, and munis investing in networks for a long time.Communities should decide locally which strategies make sense for their situation.
